Why sail alone around the world. Why choose something so hard. Why put myself through storms, sleep deprivation, fear, and months alone at sea. And honestly? Because I can. Because not everyone gets the chance to chase something that makes them feel this alive. This crossing reminded me exactly why I’m doing it. The hard moments, the quiet ones, the dolphins at the bow, the exhaustion, the freedom, the feeling that this is exactly where I’m supposed to be. I know it sounds simple. But sometimes that’s enough of a reason. I can. So I will 🌊⚓ Life on the Showgirl is my journey toward one of the toughest solo sailing races on the planet: the Golden Globe Race — sailed solo, non-stop, and without modern technology.

Seven years into boatlife, I sometimes look back at the naive girl I was when we first stepped on board ForTuna, unsure whether I envy her optimism or feel grateful to be a seasoned liveaboard now. She definitely didn’t expect these five things: 1. How much mental energy small decisions take. Weather, anchorages, groceries, maintenance, nothing is big on its own, but everything needs attention. 2. How quickly “adventure” turns into routine. And how necessary that routine becomes if you want to stay. 3. How comforting familiarity feels. Knowing one anchorage well can feel richer than constantly moving on. 4. How little the big moments matter compared to the small ones. It’s not the passages you remember most, but the everyday rhythms. 5. How boatlife doesn’t become easier, you just learn what actually matters. Stay Salty, Greta and Michael #sailing #sailinglife #liveaboard #sailingadventure #liveaboardlife
